Christian Pulisic’s position at Milan and with the United States is changing after several seasons as a central attacking figure. A Guardian analysis considers that transition alongside his recovery from injury and the national team’s selection of younger prospects.
The report records 43 goals and 25 assists in 138 Milan appearances, but only one trophy since his arrival in 2023. Those figures illustrate the difference between an individual contribution and the wider success of the team.
The article argues that sharing responsibility need not represent failure. That is the writer’s interpretation, rather than a new selection decision: Pulisic’s established record now sits beside changing competition for places and a national side preparing its next stage.
